Chalk Your Walk

Thursday: Complete artwork by creating a background.  Optional: Write a short story about the animal that includes the animal’s environment and explains why the colors are bright and bold instead of realistic. Don't forget to send me a pic of your work!

For Fun: Draw a sidewalk message! Connect with your neighbors and friends by leaving them a beautiful picture, positive sidewalk chalk message, a riddle or a joke. It is a chance to make someone smile even though you can't be with them. If you don't have chalk you can make some chalk paint just by mixing corn starch, water, and food coloring together. Find the recipe here.

Be A Rock Star!

Wednesday: Draw chosen animal on good paper (use sketchbook paper if that is all you have) and trace with oil pastel, crayon, marker or colored pencil (use what you have). Color animal with "fauvist" colors. 

For Fun: Be a Rock Star! Find a pebble or a rock in your yard, paint it, sharpie it or write something inspirational on it and then go for a walk. Put it somewhere someone will find it. Here is a website with a lot of ideas, tips, and tricks for your rock painting.

Tuesday Fun!

If you are working on this week's art lesson today you need to:
Read lesson here and practice drawing two different animals in your sketchbook. Send pic to me.

Just for fun:
Use your cell phone and the things around you to find letters! Do you have a window in your house that looks like an "o" or a handle on an object that could be a "c"??? Open up your eyes to what is around you and see if you can observe enough letters to make a word! Use the free version of this photo editing software if you want to put them all together or change to black and white. Have some fun and remember to send me the picture!
